    Not any of them but I have met some of the seven.
    I always carry extra ammo for the scrounger.
    I tell the loquacious ones talk to me only during a ceasefire.

    Not mentioned. Those who never clean up their spent casing.
    Especially those darn shotgun hulls. The AGC Barnes range is littered with them.

    That video is more accurate for the times I spent at an indoor range by my work. thank goodness its LESS accurate for AGC.

    Ditto on brass. I had to clean up 223 and 22LR this morning just to sit down.

    Thank GAWD I'm none of those guys.

    There's another type that I see at the range - similar to Mr. Mag Dump, he's the guy who is also duded out in the latest Tacti-cool duds, but he's the guy who likes to act like he's "training" by shooting two or three rounds, pulling the pistol back to his chest (barrel still pointed forward) and then do the side-to-side look, like he's insuring that the area is clear. Ok - I get it - I'm sure that this is taught in tactical shooting classes, but is it really necessary at the indoor range?

    Makes me dream of the 80's when Friday Night at MSA was empty, had the whole place to ourselves and if we were lucky the well developed Girl was on duty. I guess shooting wasn't as cool back then.

    There may be a little bit of most of those guys in all of us(as hard as we try not to be 'that guy at the range').


    I mostly hate the sweeper. I ran into a husband teaching his wife. Older couple. The wife constantly swept me, sometimes with the finger on the trigger. I place the entirety of blame on the husband. He was unfit to teach anyone to shoot handguns, especially his wife. :cool:
